Not Confident to Prescribe Bespoke Orthotics? You Are Not Alone.
Orthotic prescribing support for every confidence level — including a prescribe-by-pathology option, collaborative first case review, and practical orthotics education built in from day one.
What support does MM Podiatry offer for prescribing custom-made orthotics?
MM Podiatry supports clinicians at every stage of prescribing confidence, with a structured onboarding process and ongoing clinical support that meets you where you are – from the first order.
- Onboarding includes a 20-minute call to understand your caseload and workflow, integration of the prescription form into your practice management system, and pre-built RehabHub 3D protocols for your most common presentations.
- Ongoing support includes collaborative first case review, a clinical query route for in-clinic questions, chair-side adjustment guidance, clinical guidance materials and information to give to your patients, and a 60-day clinical fit guarantee backed by a 30-day workmanship guarantee.
For podiatrists earlier in their orthotic prescribing journey, our prescribe-by-pathology option removes the need to specify every design parameter — you select a presentation and receive an evidence-informed orthotic recommendation. You can also use the following prescription routes:
- Prescribe by quick select options – choose a device family such as by pathology, by sport or by device. When you know the functional outcome you are prescribing for but want us to handle the specific design.
- Fully bespoke — full control over shell profile, posting, additions, and top cover. Build from your clinical findings and specify every parameter. Collaborative prescription review is available on request. prescribe-by-device-type (e.g., Control, Control +, Sports), or go fully bespoke once you feel more confident.
Not sure whether a bespoke orthotic is even the right call for your patient? Run the case past us first — we will give you an honest view before you commit to prescribing.
Start with one case – we work through the prescription with you
“As a relatively new podiatry practice, I’ll admit I lacked confidence when it came to prescribing bespoke orthoses. I knew some of my patients needed more than off‑the‑shelf devices, but the sheer number of design choices, variables and suppliers made me nervous about getting it wrong. Partnering with MM Podiatry has completely changed that.” – Simon Barnes, Podiatrist & Owner

Before Prescribing Orthotics
Before you start to prescribe orthotics…
What is prescribe-by-pathology?
Prescribe-by-pathology is an ordering route that lets you select a common presentation — plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, tibialis posterior dysfunction, and more — and receive an evidence-informed device recommendation. You do not need to specify every design parameter.
Do I need advanced MSK experience to start?
No. Prescribe-by-pathology routes and collaborative first cases are designed for clinicians earlier in their prescribing journey.
How does clinical support work with MM Podiatry?
Dedicated support is available throughout the prescribing process. Send a brief case summary before prescribing if you are unsure whether orthotic treatment is indicated, and we give an honest view. Practical clinical education resources are available from onboarding, including provider guides, a foam impression guide, and an adjustment pathway reference.
Can I run a case past you before deciding whether to prescribe an orthotic?
Yes. Send a brief case summary and we give an honest view on whether a bespoke device is likely to add value before you commit to prescribing.
